Brand visibility in generative AI search results is shaped by a combination of content authority, structured data, citation signals, and how well your brand is represented across the sources that AI models draw from. Unlike traditional search, where ranking is largely a function of links and on-page optimisation, generative AI surfaces answers by synthesising information…
Companies developing custom AI models for brand creative are training proprietary systems on their own visual assets, copy archives, and brand guidelines, so that every output reflects their specific identity rather than a generic large-language-model average. The goal is consistency at scale: brand voice, visual tone, and messaging hierarchy that hold together whether the model…
AI and paid search have become inseparable. Google’s automated bidding, broad match expansion, Performance Max campaigns, and AI-generated ad copy have fundamentally changed who makes decisions inside a paid search account. The question is not whether AI is useful. It clearly is. The question is whether marketers understand what they have given up in exchange…
AI is being integrated into media buying and planning at a pace that most marketing teams are not ready for. The platforms have been doing it quietly for years, the holding companies are investing heavily, and a growing number of brands are restructuring how they allocate budget, build forecasts, and make real-time bidding decisions based…
False advertising claims arise when a brand makes a statement about its product or service that is misleading, unsubstantiated, or demonstrably untrue. They can be brought by regulators, competitors, or consumers, and the consequences range from mandatory retractions and fines to reputational damage that takes years to recover from.

OpenAI is preparing to introduce advertising to ChatGPT. The company has confirmed it is exploring an ad-supported tier as part of its broader push toward profitability, which would make the world’s most widely used AI assistant a commercial media channel for the first time. For marketers, this is not a distant possibility to monitor. It…
Perplexity AI makes money through a subscription tier called Perplexity Pro, priced at $20 per month, and through an advertising model built around sponsored follow-up questions embedded in search results. It is a hybrid approach, combining direct consumer revenue with a nascent but structurally significant advertising play that puts it on a collision course with…
Brand mentions in generative AI refer to how often and in what context AI systems like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity surface your brand when answering user queries. Unlike traditional search rankings, these mentions are not determined by backlinks or keyword density alone. They are shaped by the breadth, quality, and consistency of your brand’s presence…
Brands combine TV and digital video in one campaign by treating both channels as parts of a single creative system rather than separate executions. The same story, the same visual language, and the same strategic intent run across broadcast and digital placements, with each format doing the specific job it is best suited for: TV…
Improving brand visibility in AI search results means making your brand the kind of source that AI systems cite when answering questions in your category. That is not the same as ranking on page one of Google. AI overviews, ChatGPT responses, and Perplexity citations pull from a different pool of signals, and brands that understand…
